[HvEXAS] TONIGHT! The HA! Man / Dino Petrocelli / Art Night Schenectady

From South Africa, The HA! Man makes music that is both "dangerous" and beautiful.  To learn more, and to view a promo piece, please visit the following url:
http://www.hamanworld.com/

To buy tickets, please visit:
https://tickets.proctors.org/TheatreManager/online?btnSelectEvent&PB_SEQ=6052

Note that tonight is also ART NIGHT in Schenectady, so - in addition to The HA! Man - there's quite a bit more going on.  A couple of the things I'm particularly excited about include a custom motorcycle show in Proctors GE Theatre, and the associated Dino Petrocelli Motorcyle Photo Art exhibit in the Proctors Gallery:

Additionally, there will be spontaneous performances ("Pop Up Plays") throughout the facility tonight (with musical accompaniment by experimental vocal group, F'Loom):

Hope to see you there!

[HvEXAS] DRONE marathon on Saturday!!

So...  Just a few days until our massive (or massively crazy) DRONE marathon!  We'll be at the Upstate Artists Guild on Lark St. in Albany from noon to midnight, and the sound will be continuously evolving, so stop by when you can!  And if you're really adventuresome, why not stay for the whole thing and experience something very rare in live music.  Totally free!
 

ALBANY SONIC ARTS COLLECTIVE presents a celebration of its first anniversary.  Come join us as we offer a 12-hour continuous live drone performance:

 

                    A RIVER OF DRONE

 

                                           The Upstate Artists Guild

247 Lark St.

Albany, NY

Saturday Nov. 22, 2008

                                              12 Noon Until Midnight

                                                           Free

 

Capping off a compelling first year of performances that ranged from the intensely quiet Berlin sound master Andrea Neumann to the roaring noise of Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, with many stops in between, the Albany Sonic Arts Collective (ASAC) is proud to present our first anniversary celebration at the Upstate Artists Guild. For this very special event, several ASAC sound and video artists will be collaborating live to create an immersive sonic and visual environment. The "drone" is a part of life, from the constant hum of electricity to the constant rush of traffic around us. Music from all parts of the globe has drawn inspiration from the sounds found in drones. In celebration of the universal harmonic power of drones, the ASAC musicians will conjure a continuous river of sound, building on sustained tones and repetition.

 

Inspired by LaMonte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music and Dream House installation, along with the music of Charlemagne Palestine, Phill Niblock, and others, the goal is to develop a musical vehicle for immersion, reflection, deep listening, meditation, and concentration. Video projections throughout the gallery will accompany the ongoing music. Attendees are encouraged to bring pillows, chairs, and snacks, and to stay for as little or as long as they would like. Unlike a traditional performance, performers will be located throughout the gallery, and may move during the performance in order to explore subtle acoustic phenomena. Attendees are also encouraged to walk around, enjoy the art on the walls, watch the video projections, and discover new relationships to the sound in the drone.

 

The collectively summoned drone will be harmonically rich and full of mysteries for the listener to discover. By presenting a 12 hour continuous performance, the music will unfold and develop in an evolutionary way unlike any ordinary concert.  Parts of the drone will be quiet, others will be loud; parts will be relatively still, while others will be dynamic. Such diversity mirrors the range of sound we experience in the world every day.

 

We hope you will join us to meditate, listen, self-hypnotize, bliss out, or simply enjoy a swim in the RIVER OF DRONE!
